Elected members of Tralee MD are urging Kerry County Council to allow mobile saunas be included in beach trading bye laws.
It follows a motion from Sinn Féin councillor Deirdre Ferris at the recent Tralee municipal district meeting.
She says since covid, sea swimming has become a growing hobby on Kerry beaches, including Banna - where many social swimming and womens groups have formed.

Cllr Ferris asked why mobile saunas couldn’t be classified under water activities, adding they are great for people’s mental health and a draw for tourists.
Her motion was seconded by Labour councillor, Terry O’Brien.
In response, the council says it will undertake a review of current casual trading bye laws to see if amendments can be made for next summer.
